[Game] 12/82: Kings vs. Hawks 12 NOV 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

You can't tell me Doug can't play as good of defense as Deebo........

You've got a solid point. He could still help a team that needs shooting

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Morgan needs to take it easy on the makeup

 

[SacTownKid]

Yep. Carter/Clifford plus whichever vet guard you weren’t able to get much value from in a deal/whatever dude you get back in a trade m

The smart value right now is to maybe hang onto Malik. Give him the top slot, let him burn up those numbers. Malik has been the best overall fit next to them so far.

Clifford spooked by the length of the Hawks. All his shots were off. Need more reps against good competition.

He always fits well with Keon

He’s also young enough that he could conceivably still be useful to the Kings when/if they’re good again.

He was also playing the first back-to-back of his career.

For a rebuild Monk, Keon, and Carter is a solid PG/SG spot. Clifford as the point F and Keegan as the 2nd option. Time to finally see it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Doug also looked much more in his element coaching up the young guys rather than dealing with whatever the hell the starters are doing.

 

[SacTownKid]

He was also playing the first back-to-back of his career.

And has been having to basically jackhammer his way into the offense when playing with the vets. Give these young guys 25 games of a legit rotational spot and then we start seeing who they are and how they adapt.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Looks like Doug is no longer saying its on him.

Says players have to compete.

He understanding that nice guy crap aint working

Christie is ripping the team in the presser

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Because he actually has a voice to tell them what to do. He doesn't feel that with guys that have been in the league for 9+ years

He played 14 min last night. He was recalibrating the arc of his shot on the floor.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Get um Doug!

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Get rid of everyone except Nique, Raynaud, Carter, Murray, Ellis, and Monk. I wouldn't mind Achuwa too.

 

[SacTownKid]

That's how he'll learn. Those old guys? Nothing there to teach. They've done it. Clifford needs to get up as many shots against whoever as possible right now. The more he does, the quicker he learns and the team learns who he is and isn't.

Looks like he feels it quite fine according to that press conference. Guy was a vet in this league, a brotherhood. You think he doesn't feel comfortable talking to basketball players?

Its literally his whole element

Christie is a perfect coach for a young team. Kangz better not screw this up and pull another trade Cuz AND fire Karl. Where they don't pick a side, they just pick no sides, lol.

We wont have that problem. We dont have a true star. Murray is closest thing to a future and he's locked up for 5 years.

Blow this crap up.

But get a dam offense man. 39%?

So I guess Doug was just 24hrs behind the way the rest of us were feeling.

Let's see what happens now.

Lol there you go Doug.

Send the non-Westbrook vets home.

Doug is going to beat a random person up in an alley tonight.

Where is Rick Fox when you need him?

 

[Krunker]

Doug is going to beat a random person up in an alley tonight.

We know he has a mean uppercut

 

[iowamcnabb]

on a technicality, Coke owed.

Kings going to be leaving town with their tail between their legs.
Schroeder’s confidence is shot. Needs to spend some time in the G-League
Just sit Sabonis until he heals. He’s a liability right now.
At this point, Keon is the only bright spot.
My gut tells me there is some major drama/divide/conflict in the locker room. The body language by the vets says it all.
Still say Doug was set up to fail. Kings ownership needs a patsy.
McDermott should play more. He can’t be any worse than anyone else on this team.
I said what I said

Not Kings ownership but Perry. He knew this year would be crap and didn’t want to saddle his preferred coach with this stink. Doug was Vivek’s preferred guy.

Quite frankly, this situation is the best I have felt about a Kings GM in a decade. The problem with this team was Vivek interfering.

Few here really believe how bad the Monte era was. I say Monte era because a big part of the problem was Monte couldn’t handle Vivek. Perry by contrast gave Vivek all the rope he needed to hang himself. Even an idiot like Vivek knows this pile of crap lies at his feet.

Perry leaned into Vivek and made it an evaluation year. He full well knew this roster was maybe the worst in all sports. Hopefully now Perry will have free rein to do what needs to be done without Vivek ****ing it up.

I’m the most hopeful I have been in a long time.
